Many travel firms recorded lower profits despite more tourists The country welcomed over 6.8 million international tourists last year, up 13.86% compared to a year earlier. The number of international tourists to Hanoi reached 2.1 million last year, up 11.3% from the year before. However, the figures seemed not to reflect the situation of small to medium-sized businesses that specialise in services for international travellers. In Hanoi a survey of such businesses revealed that many had to lay off between 25% and 40% of their employees. Others reported having to move office locations to less convenient, but more affordable buildings. Although the peak of the tourism season is from October to April, many tourism companies continue to report losses. Nguyen Vu Vy, manager of Ha Hoi restaurant in Hanoi, said, "When our business was thriving, we welcomed as many as 150 international tourists every day during the month of November. However, the figure has dropped to around 30." An unnamed director of a five-star hotel in Hanoi said they failed to meet their quota this year, with only a 73% occupancy rate, down 2% from last year. Their very modest increase in room prices and a number of promotion programmes failed to attract guests, and the hotel's revenue dropped by more than 10% for the year. He attributed this to the global financial situation. More tourists, lower profits HCM City municipal Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism said that last year hotel profits in the city as a whole were much lower than a year earlier due to higher overheads. Occupancy rates in three to five-star hotels was 68.7% last year, down 2.3% on from the year before. "Last month, a lot of four and five-star hotels in Hanoi, HCM City, Nha Trang and Danang City as well as high-end yachting services in Ha Long launched large promotion programmes. This just proves that they were in desperate economic difficulties," said Pham Manh Ha, from Vietnam Luxury Travel Company. Le Van Kien, Director of Travel Sense Asia admitted that his company recorded a decrease of from 5% to 8% in revenues during the recent peak tourism season, as tourists tend to demand higher quality services at lower prices. The company is also facing fierce competition with other travel firms. In order to help the situation several travel firms got together to put pressure on domestic tourism service providers to force them to lower their prices by 15%-20%, Pham Manh Ha confirmed. Mong Cai Travel Club in Quang Ninh Province said they served over 92,000 Chinese tourists in the first ten months of last year, up 46% from a year earlier but their returns were still quite modest. According to the club, Chinese travel firms sold tours to these tourists at relatively high prices, but paid their Vietnamese partners only a fraction of what they collected, for example only from VND800,000 to VND1 million (USD38.3-USD47.9) per person for a four-day and three-night Mong Cai – Ha Long – Hanoi tour. Vu The Binh, Vice Chairman of Vietnam Tourism Association said even though Chinese tourists come in large numbers, they tend not to spend much.
